God, I'll be 48 in 9 days. Back when I was 18 (30 years ago) I believed I'd never be around for the year 2000. I would have been 42, and at 18 that seemed so ancient that I couldn't see myself ever getting there. How fast all those years have flown. Dad turns 69 on September 25th. Next year we'll have to go to Queensland to celebrate his 70th, though I'm sure he thinks he won't be around for that. Every day we're still on this Earth is a blessing, and every day should be celebrated, not just birthdays.
Lauren and Daniel are celebrating their 4th wedding anniversary on September 21st, so this month is a busy one for us all. Lauren's birthday was also this month on the 7th, plus there are 4 other relatives I can think of that celebrate their birthdays this month too. Maree on the 28th, Debbie on the 5th, and Tom and Michael on the 27th. I always think of us September babies as Christmas cheer, all conceived during the silly season.
The photo was taken on Saturday during a get-together we had at my brother Warren's house. It was a top night and I've decided it's my turn next, possibly a pre-christmas party. Sounds good.
